North and South Delta Senior’s Buses April 2017 Program Overview The North and South Delta Seniors’ Buses provide transportation for Delta seniors to travel to and from requested locations. It was introduced by the municipality to address a gap in transportation services for seniors. The service is free, although donations are accepted. Any senior living in Delta may register for the bus service at their local Recreation Centre – in North Delta at the Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre and in South Delta at the McKee Seniors Recreation Centre. To reserve a space on the bus, seniors have to call in advance (generally there is an assigned day each week when people need to call to reserve a spot for the following week) and the bus routes depend on the requests for the day. The North Delta Seniors Bus (18 seats) operates 5 days a week and the South Delta Seniors Bus (16 seats) operates 3 days a week. Both buses are wheelchair accessible. The North and South Delta Buses each serve their own communities independently and do not provide service to each other’s region. Through a UBCM Age-Friendly Community Grant and support from the municipality, the North Delta Seniors’ Bus was launched in 2013, with an annual operating budget of approximately $90,000. Since then, another Age- Friendly Community Grant for $20,000 helped to launch the South Delta Seniors Bus (which serves Tsawwassen and Ladner). Need and History Delta is a suburb of Vancouver with limited public transit services (which are operated by Translink, the regional transportation entity), creating serious challenges for seniors who are in need of transportation. To illustrate the reality facing many older people in the area, the Delta South Youth Advisory Council conducted an experiment to find out what it would be like for a senior to travel by bus to a medical appointment. They took the bus from Tsawwassen to Surrey Memorial Hospital with a Delta senior and found out that what would normally be a 20- minute drive by car, took 2 hours and 15 minutes by bus. The catalyst for introduction of the North Delta Seniors’ Bus was when the Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre was unable to get Translink to change a bus route around Nordel Way, to make it easier for seniors to access the centre. The Delta Seniors Planning Table brought the issue of transportation forward to the municipality who agreed to work with them on a solution. Impact and Challenges The service has been very well received and is in high demand by seniors. A limitation of the service is that each bus travels only within in its own region, with the exception of the North Delta Bus, which, upon request, will travel to Surrey Memorial Hospital for some treatments. There is also no service to the Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) community or the Tsawwassen Mills mall (which is within the TFN boundaries) as the TFN is regarded as a separate municipality.

Media Release
Media A division of Overwaitea Food Group LP, a Jim Pattison business Release Save-On-Foods Proud to Join Tsawwassen Community Tsawwassen Safeway to become Save-On-Foods after Overwaitea Food Group purchase (March 18, 2014 – Vancouver, BC) Residents of the Tsawwassen community will be introduced to their newest neighbour, Save-On-Foods, at the end of this week. As part of Sobeys acquisition of Canada Safeway, Canada’s Competition Bureau required divestiture of a number of their locations. As a result, the Overwaitea Food Group was able to purchase 15 locations from the Sobeys Group, including the Tsawwassen Safeway. Starting Wednesday, the store will be closed for a 3 day renovation, re-opening on Saturday, March 22. However, the pharmacy will continue to operate during renovations to ensure continuity of patient care. With the same great staff and management team on board, the new Save-On-Foods location is looking forward to re-opening its doors and introducing the Tsawwassen community to its own brand of Always Customer First service and great selection of products. “This is an exciting time for us, and we couldn’t be happier to learn from all the great folks that are already working in this store to help us best suit the needs of this community,” says Darrell Jones, President, Overwaitea Food Group. “We’re the local guys in this game and we are committed to staying true to our roots and offering great service and products to all our new friends in Tsawwassen – and to thank everybody for their patience during our renovation, we'll have some fantastic deals at the store this weekend when we re-open.” For nearly a century, Save-On-Foods has been one of the leading grocery store formats in Western Canada, with a reputation for delivering an exceptional grocery shopping experience.

Acknowledgment of Traditional Territory in Delta School District
Acknowledgment of Traditional Territory in the Delta School District A Protocol Guide for School District #37 (Delta) Indigenous Education Department - November 2017 INDIGENOUS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT - SCHOOL DISTRICT #37 (DELTA) "1 Why do we Acknowledge Territory? When opening an important event or function, we acknowledge the traditional territory of the local Indigenous people (First Nation, Métis or Inuit) who have occupied this land since time immemorial. The Tsawwassen First Nation signed British Columbia’s ﬁrst Urban Land Treaty in 2009. The Musqueam Indian Band has 150 acres of territory in Ladner. We respect all of the Indigenous people who have not ceded the land in Delta nor have had any treaties signed. How do we Acknowledge Territory? Any school district staff can acknowledge the traditional territory. Only the Indigenous people who live on that territory or are originally from the territory would welcome people. The host of the event is the person to acknowledge the territory. It is not necessary to have an Indigenous person from the territory do this. For larger, more formal events, it is proper protocol to have an Elder or designate from the host Nation to perform an Opening or a Welcome, if possible. Again, the host would acknowledge the territory and the Elder or designate would welcome the guests. Typically, an honorarium is given to the Elder for their time and their support. When would we acknowledge territory? It is performed at more formal functions such as: - Assemblies - Board Meetings - Important meetings or presentations - Graduations - Awards nights - Opening new facilities - Celebrations which include Indigenous communities What is the proper order of acknowledging territory and people? 1.
